What Are Holograms?

Holograms are like pictures that can float in the air. Imagine a picture you draw on paper, but instead of being flat, it looks like it's coming out of the page, or even flying around! They work by using light tricks to make images look three-dimensional and lifelike. It’s kind of like when you see a 3D movie without glasses, magic made with science.
